Synopsis:The body of a locAl Fisherman is found tangled in his net, and a Japanese fisherman is arrested for his murder. For the residents of an island in the Pacific Northwest, the wartime internment of the Japanese has left a bitter legacy, and the trial of Kabuo Miyamoto polarizes the community even further. A white newspaperman may hold the key to the accused man's guilt or innocence. But
Ishmael Chambers' sense of right and wrong is clouded by his enduring love for Kabuo's wife, Hatsue. Their bi-racial romance as children had been destroyed by fear and cultural prejudices. Still wounded, Ishmael must conquer his feelings before simmering pressures from all sides upend the scales of justice and tear the community apart.
